Savannah River Spring Spawn: Seatrout, Reds, and Stripers Firing Up This April

Savannah River Spring Spawn: Seatrout, Reds, and Stripers Firing Up This April

Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Savannah River fishing guide, comin' atcha live from the banks on this fine April 14, 2026, at 3 AM Eastern. Dawn's breakin' slow with sunrise around 7:00 AM and sunset 'bout 7:50 PM—plenty of light for a full day on the water.

Tides today got a low at 4:30 AM risin' to high 'round 10:45 AM, then droppin' off sharp by evenin'—fish the incoming for best action, per local tide charts. Weather's mild, highs in the low 80s, light ESE breeze settlin' things down, low rain chance—perfect after last week's blowin'.

Fish are wakin' up hungry with spring spawn kickin'. Recent reports show limits of spotted seatrout stackin' up in shallows, reds crashin' mullet schools, stripers strikin' hard on the river bends, plus catfish and bream fillin' coolers. Folks pulled 20+ trout per boat yesterday near Ebeneezer, and a 15-lb striper from Burtons Ferry.

Rig up with **topwater lures** like mirrored minnows or chrome spoons for trout and reds—twitch 'em slow over grass beds. **Soft plastics** in paddle tails on 1/4-oz jigheads shine for stripers. Live bait? Shrimp or mullet under a popping cork can't be beat, or cut menhaden for cats.

Hit these hot spots: Big Bay near Sylvania for reds and stripers on the falling tide, or Williams Bluff for trout ambushes at first light. Launch early, stay safe, and wet a line!
